@2iHeartYou2 The covers are included in the 10 pack box. It comes with 2 of them. We just keep them in my sons meter pouches or his supplie box.

I'm 18 and have been diabetic since I was 5. I don't have a pump yet, but my doctor has been after me to try it and I love everything about the MiniMed Paradigm Revel; but have you ever used the Continuous Glucose Monitoring? I have constant highs and need something to help out. Do you have any advice? Thanks =)

[2iHeartYou2]

I've had the pump for a while so I'm using the insertion device that comes separately. I know the normal infusion sets come with a cap/cover thing to protect the insertion site when you disconnect the pump, but I didn't notice a cap come with the mio. How do you cover the insertion site when showering and whatnot?

Also, how come you filled up your reservoir only to 200 rather than the full 300 units? Very useful video though, thanks :)

If you set the bottle down on the table to put the air in it, you won't have as many bubbles in the resevoir. Harder to do w/ a new bottle of insulin, but it gets rid of those little bubbles in the insulin when you draw it up.

I have been a diabetic since I was 2 1/2. i am now 30... I love my Mios! I don't like change, normally, and I examined them really good before I switched from the QuickSets, but i like not having to pack an inserter arund with me. I usually always have to pack an extra set change around, because I am constantly doing something to mine. And the one time I go somewhere w/o an extra one will be the time i need it!

Thanks for this great video, I use to use the Quick-set infusion set but kept forgetting to make sure the arrows lined up and then I would not get any insulin and wonder why I had high sugars. Frustrating. With the Mio, no having to line up arrows - great advantage! I couldn't figure out how to pull the stuff off after inserting! Thanks for sharing.

just a tip, my son is type 1 diabetic and I learned that if you are not using IV prep site will stick better and hold better after showers. We just prep the skin with alcohol.

since then site doesn fall off or get loose after showers ...

[cdanilana]

Thank you for explaining that system. You made my night!

[omofmom]

Thanks for such clear display of the actual pump menu. We are using sure-t but it helped to know if we wanted to use another kind of infusion set. My son is 11 so it helps for him to see what other guys use.
